All hell is breaking loose as Donald Trump has caused an already disastrous and unlawful war against Iran to spread throughout the entire world. Yes, the world is at war right now. Call it what you will. I'm going to give you all of the data points and receipts, as I always do here on the Midas Touch Network. By the way, make sure you hit subscribe. We're heading to 7 million subscribers. Let's see how many subscribers we can get on this video. Let's keep getting out the truth. So the foreign minister of Iran put out the following statement yesterday. Touted U.S. security umbrella has proven to be full of holes and inviting

rather than deterring trouble. U.S. is now begging others, even China, to help it, make Hormuz safe. Iran calls on brotherly neighbors to expel foreign aggressors, especially as their only concern is Israel. That's the message that is coming out of Iran right now as Donald Trump has made the U.S. look as weak as it ever has in its history at this point. And all of its security guarantees, all of its promises right now are proving to be a liability for those allied with the United States and not a help. They've left. We've left the Arab nations and Asian allies on their own, essentially.

So let's just go through the facts. Let's look at the entire world. This is global, folks. What's happening? Obviously, the Gulf is engulfed in a war right now. We know that. But let's take a look at what's happening. North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Europe.

Let's talk about Ukraine. It's in Europe. Let's talk about the rest of the world. North Korea fired about 10 ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan and Saturday, Seoul's joint chiefs of staff said days after Pyongyang warned of, quote, terrible consequences over ongoing South Korea-U.S. military drills. And so you want to know what those military drills entailed? They were actually cover for the U.S. going into South Korea and getting rid of the Thad and Patriot systems and moving them over to the Middle East as the United States runs out of munitions.

South Korean TV captured what was really happening and why was North Korea doing these ballistic missile tests and other cruise missile test to basically say to South Korea, North Korea was saying to South Korea, look, we know that you don't have these Patriot Interceptors anymore and Thad interceptors anymore. good luck. Let's talk about what's happening in Moldova. A serious breach took place where Russian drones, which are the Iranian manufactured Shah had drones, crossed into Moldova during mass strikes on Ukraine. So in the past 24 to 48 hours, one of the biggest Russian strikes against Ukraine, yet killing seven, injuring 46 across Ukraine, targeting civilians and the energy grid. Ordinary homes, schools, civilians, businesses has also been hit, according to President Zelensky of Ukraine. And then some of those drones ended up in Moldova.

The Moldovan foreign minister, Mahi Pupsoy, says Russia's war against Ukraine threatens the safety of our citizens. And Russia's been the biggest beneficiary, frankly, along with Iran, of Donald Trump's unlawful war against Iran. Donald Trump has removed all of the oil sanctions against Iran. Iran's able to sell its oil to the rest of the world. Now Trump regime is trying to be like, well, it's temporary and it's just the oil that was previously already loaded but was prevented from getting to where it was. Well, the price of oil is basically as high as it's been in a very long time. Russia's economy was tanking. This is the biggest bailout to Russia imaginable. No European nations is other than Hungary under orbit. wanted this. All of the G7 nations other than the United States condemn this and did not want this to happen and are shocked and horrified that this is happening. And Russia is helping Iran against the United States. Russia is saying publicly that they are in solidarity with Iran against the United States. Yet Donald Trump is continuing to help out Russia. And then in response to Zelensky working with the United States military to provide the interceptor drone technology. against these shahids to help with the situation right now in the Middle East, which is an utter disaster because Donald Trump launched this war because Netanyahu was going to do it first, and then Donald Trump was completely unprepared and through all the Arab nations under the bus. Donald Trump has been saying, I don't want Zelensky's help at all. The last person

whose help I need is Zelensky. That just tells you everything you need to know about what a small, sick and disgusting human being. Donald Trump is the last person's help you need is actually the person whose help you need the most you sick and disgusting vile piece of trash you. There's nobody, objectively, who has the knowledge of how to deal with these Shaheeds and ballistics other than Zelensky. Not only have they developed the interceptor technology in Ukraine, the interceptor technology alone isn't what's needed. That's helpful. You also need that to know how you look at the surveillance, how you track these shot at drones. U.S. doesn't have those capabilities.

That's why our military is asking for help. That's why CENTCOM has asked for help. That's why NATO has asked for help. And Donald Trump's like, we don't want it. Go away. We don't need your help, Zelensky. And then Donald Trump, in this NBC interview I talked about earlier this morning, he just starts attacking Zelensky and says,

Zelensky's the problem, not Putin. The reason that there's still the war in Ukraine is because of Zelensky. Excuse me? Putin invaded Ukraine. you traitorous treasonous piece of crap you. What are you talking about? Donald Trump is humiliating the United States on the world stage. And yes, the security umbrella, as the Iranian foreign minister alludes to, has collapsed. There are so many holes in the umbrella. It is pouring down Shahid drones throughout the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates, which allied with the United

States. They've seen their port of Fujaira in the UAE completely. I mean, look at what it looks like on fire. That's like it's one of its main exporting areas outside of the Strait of Hormuz. I mean, you take a look at the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad Iraq right now. That was hit. And the embassy in Iraq right now has told all American citizens, get out while you can get out of Iraq right now. Show you what's going on as well. You have Hamas's one of Hamas's leaders.

Bassem Naim, saying this epic battle is the battle of liberation from American domination and dismantling its primary tool in the region, namely Zionist occupying regime, and we are at the heart of this battle, neither neutral nor mere observers. By the way, remember when Donald Trump said, oh, well, there's a ceasefire going on in Gaza right now. There was never a ceasefire going on in Gaza. Was Israel able to strike and attack lots of Hamas people? Yes, but overwhelmingly what we've seen over the past several months since Donald Trump claimed,

there's peace in Gaza. We've seen hundreds again, hundreds and hundreds of innocent people who have been killed and slaughtered in Gaza children and their parents who are not Hamas. Okay. And if you want to look at what southern Lebanon looks like right now, you want to look at what Beirut looks like in the area of this suburban. areas right there, you know, under the statements of we're going after Hezbollah, by the way, there is Hezbollah there, right? And Hezbollah is bad. Like, let's be clear, I'm not making excuses for Hezbollah. Hezbollah should be eradicated, absolutely. However, in southern Beirut, you've seen hospitals that have been blown up. The past 48 hours, 19 medical professionals

were killed. Spain condemned Israeli killing of these, you know, top medical professionals there who were there to help people. Southern Beirut. has been leveled and Israel now saying it's going to be doing a ground invasion, a full-fledged ground invasion into Lebanon. Things are spiraling out of control, you know, there as well. And you're turning the populations toward Iran, toward against the United, I mean, against the United States and Donald Trump's statements of, we're obliterating Iran. The Iranian people are menaces and they're nasty and the attacks on the desalination

facilities and the oil depots in Iran and the elementary schools, killing 150 elementary school girls, you've lost any minute support that possibly may have existed to begin with. That's what's really happening on the ground. You may not like me saying it, but that's the reality of what is happening. And the quicker we recognize that that's happening, the quicker hopefully we can get pressure to freaking remove Donald Trump or impeach him or throw him out or build because this guy is going to take us further and further into this deranged, demented war, and there's going to be a lot more Americans who are going to be killed as a result of this. Listen to what the senior Iranian official, Mosin Razi, said regarding the end of the war. They're not, Iran says, we're not going to end this anytime soon.

They said, one, we want reparations, full compensation for all damages that have been caused to Iran. And number two, we want full U.S. withdrawal from the Persian Gulf. If those two things don't happen, we're not going to stop the Shahid drones. We are not going to stop blocking the Strait of Hormoz. They are going to wait until the oil goes up to $200 a barrel. And we should be expecting that this is going to cause global economic catastrophe. That's what's actually happening here. Here, let's play this clip right here.

There have been discussions regarding a ceasefire. What is your opinion on a ceasefire? And it rains potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz will not be offended. No American vessel has the right to enter the Persian Gulf. The presence of the United States in the Persian Gulf is the primary cause of all the instabilities of the past 50 years. Without the U.S. withdrawal from the Persian Gulf

and the Strait of Hormuz being controlled by the regional countries themselves, especially U.S. and Oman, who are on both sides of this strait, it's impossible for security to be established. The end of the war is also in our hands. We will consider the war over only when, firstly, we have received all our damages from America. Secondly, we must achieve a 100% guarantee for the future, and that is not possible without the United States' withdrawal from the Persian Gulf. Therefore, the second condition is the United States withdrawal from the Persian Gulf.

Okay, I've got some important news, so just give me a quick minute to break it down. Trump's war against Iran is creating a massive energy crisis right now, and we are in a much worse place than we would be if Trump wasn't so hostile to clean energy. Since Trump took office, he's taken a sledgehammer to clean energy initiatives. He's been closing clean energy plants and canceling projects, and the negative effects of these moves extend far beyond the environment itself. We're talking thousands of thousands of jobs, but perhaps most importantly at this moment, we're talking about the destruction of a clean energy economy that would protect families from foreign oil shocks. Now that Trump has started this war, oil prices are

skyrocketing, and so is the price of gas. The Wall Street Journal is calling it the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s. Now, imagine if the U.S. had a resilient clean energy infrastructure that made us less reliant on fossil fuels. Prioritizing clean energy isn't just good for the environment. It's strategically smart. Trump has discussed getting rid of these clean energy programs as part of his America-first agenda, but in reality, it's the definition of putting America last. As always, we want to hear from you. Do you think the U. U.S. should be prioritized in clean energy? Are your gas bills or other energy bills going up? Sound off now in the comments. Make some noise. I'm going to be reading all the comments. Okay, Ben, back to you.

By the way, you have Iran's foreign minister, Aragchi, making it very clear. He's saying it, he's saying it on MS now. Dudes on MS now, okay? They're not hiding what's happening. He, they're on MS now and Iran is saying, we are being supported by Russia and China militarily. We are militarily cooperating with them. He doesn't even have to say against who. Who do you think it's against? And so while that's happening, while we know Russia and China are working with Iran against the United States, Donald Trump is thirsty for visiting Xi Jinping in April, visiting China for a state visit?

Are you out of your mind? while throwing Taiwan and South Korea and Japan under the bus right now and taking away missile system there. By the way, you know how we're throwing Japan under the bus as well? You know those 2,500 to 5,000 marine expeditionary unit forces who are now moving to the Middle East as Donald Trump's threatening a ground invasion of the Karg Island in the northern Persian Gulf. He said he's utterly obliterated, which he didn't. Those soldiers, that marine expeditionary force, was in Japan. and they were supposed to be protecting, they were there as protection against China.

We've removed the THAAD missile systems and Patriot systems from South Korea. We've removed a critical marine expedition area force and assets from Japan. Who do you think is this benefiting, right? I mean, isn't it obvious? Zelensky was on with Fareed Zakaria, and he said something that shouldn't be shocking because we just heard the foreign minister say to Iran, but here's what. he had to say, here, play this clip. Do you have intelligence or any information about this report that the Russians are providing

Iran with intelligence, specifically providing Iran with intelligence on where American troops are, where American assets are, so that the Iranians can strike and kill Americans? First of all, Russia gave drones already, these Shahis. They are using Iranian licenses, you know, that they built and produced a lot of drones. They gave them. I have 100% facts that the Iranian regime used against American bases and against our Middle East, in Middle East, I mean, and Middle East neighbors of Iran, they used these drones. We saw intelligence shared with us some details, and it was Russian details in these Iranian drones.

They said the first. And the second point is, my intelligence told me next that they think that they share information, intelligence with Iranian regime. They helped them. And also they told my intelligence told me that they said, if Europe and the United States can help Ukraine with intelligence in this war, it's mean that Russia can help Iranian regime. This is their point of view on this.

So it's a fact. And you see that it's not a bit. big secret. Right. And then you have the Turkish foreign minister, Hakkan Fidon. Here's what he told the Associated Press. Our primary objective is to stay out of this war. I know that we are being provoked and we will be provoked, but we want to stay out of this war. Similarly, there were lies that France was going to be sending battleships to the Strait of Hormoz after Donald Trump's like, we're going to have a whole coalition of all these countries that have promised to help. Trump's just lying. And then so if we have first Donald Trump posted, we have a whole coalition of countries

that are going to be in the Strait of Hormoz, but that's just the lie. Then an hour later, he said, come on, countries. This should be teamwork. Please join us. Join us in the Strait of Hormos. Like, you're going to social media post this after attacking all of these nations with tariffs against the world, threatening to like invade NATO countries, helping Putin. Nobody, nobody wants to help you at all right now. Italy is saying, we're moving their troops out of Iraq. You know, you saw the French soldier in Erbil who was killed, five others seriously injured, one killed. No one wants to help the United States at all right now anymore. But folks, I do have news for you. Jared Kushner, he's focused while he still has, while he still can, while he can still hang it

over the head of these Middle Eastern countries. Jared Kushner is. is soliciting funds for his private equity firm while working as a Mideast envoy. Trump's son-in-law is trying to raise $5 billion or more. This article was just published. Kushner is reportedly trying to raise $5 billion for his private equity firm, Affinity Partners, from Middle Eastern governments while serving as Trump's envoy. Kushner has held talks with investors, including Saudi Arabia, which previously invested $2 billion in the firm. The fundraising comes as Kushner is also involved in diplomacy in the region,

including meetings with Iran's foreign minister shortly before the war began. Kushner had previously said he would avoid fundraising during Trump's second term, stating, we don't have to raise capital for the next four years, but they lie about everything. I said this before and I'll just say it again. You see, Kushner, these countries don't like you. They don't like you as an individual. They don't care what happens to you personally, okay? You don't, you're not personally interesting to them. They think you're stupid. They don't like you.

This is how they feel about Donald Trump. They don't like, they're like, oh, I like this guy. Let's build the buildings for Donald Trump. Let's give him crypto money. No, it's a pay for play scheme. It's a quid pro quo. Qatar gives you a private jet. You give Qatar protection, right?

The Saudis and UAE invest in your stupid fund. You get richer. off of their sovereign wealth fund, you're supposed to give them protection. Pay for play. But here's the thing, going back to that first quote that I read from you from Iran's foreign minister, Araghi, just like Donald Trump has done his entire life when he's bankrupted company after company and he's not made good on the promises to his creditors and contractors, right?

That's Donald Trump's MO. Here, Donald Trump ain't doing the play part in the pay for play scheme. he's not helping these countries. In fact, he's hurting these countries. It has become a liability to be allied with the United States and to engage in these pay-for-play schemes with Donald Trump personally, as they're now being targeted by Iran for allowing the U.S. to put military bases in their countries. And the U.S. has not been prepared. Here's the thing. The U.S. could have been prepared. Or the U.S. could have made a deal. There could have been a mediated deal when the foreign minister of oman was negotiating between the trump regime with whitkoff and kushner and the iranians when

whitkoff and kushner either cannot understand intellectually what was being told to them by the iranians about the terms of the deal or whatever they were saying didn't matter anyway because they were going to because trump was going to follow whatever net yahoo did regardless what whatever but if we were unprepared with not having the right drones and equipment and all of the these things, maybe you don't go to war. Maybe you don't expose your weakness publicly, which we all now see what that is. So I'll just give you another example. Switzerland denied two U.S. reconnaissance flights connected to the Iran war citing its neutrality laws, Switzerland. While three other U.S. flights were approved, Swiss authorities had any additional overflights

tied to military operations will be rejected. So you see how this is going right now, right? And I'll just leave you with this. This is what Zelensky previously said. And I think this is to me one of the most telling moments ever where Zelensky was warning Trump. As we put on the Midas Touch account, the moment from February 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Whereas Zelensky warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time would come when America would need help in war. Here, let's play this clip right here. During the war, everybody has problems.

Even you, but you have nice ocean, and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the fusion. God bless. You don't know that. God bless. You will not have a word. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel.

I'm not telling you. Because you're in no position to dictate that. Remember this. You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good. We're going to feel very good and very strong. You're right now not in a very good position. You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position and he happens to be right about it.
